Bleach Episode,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]
If Aizen was not despised (and admired) before, he most certainly is after this episode.
What They Say:
Head Captain Genryusai Yamamoto of the Thirteen Court Guard Squads steps in to battle Aizen. Genryusai's attempt to incinerate Aizen in a blazing inferno is thwarted by Wonderweiss, whose Ressureccion form extinguishes the flames. Wonderweiss is revealed to be a Mod Arrancar created by Aizen for the sole purpose of sealing away Genryusai's zanpakuto,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Ryujinjakka.
Content: (please note that content portions of a review may contain spoilers)
When dealing with a villain whose big ability is that of hypnosis, something that everyone seems to forget at times even after Aizen talks about it pretty often, everything you see is suspect. So when we see him getting a sword through his chest, the first instinct is to actually be thrilled that they got close enough to finally do him some damage. The second instinct is to panic over whether it's really true. What makes it worse is that Ichigo is the one who sees the reality of the situation and can't believe his eyes as Hitsugaya has thrust his sword right through Hinamori's chest,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], potentially mortally wounding her. Not that I give too much credence to anyone really dying in this series, though I always hope to be surprised.
While Bleach has built up some epic moments before and forced a number of them through the use of music and imagery where it didn't really have that kind of impact,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the first few minutes of this episode are some of the best we've seen in this arc so far I think. Aizen has been hands off for so long until Ichigo really got on the scene and yet even when he does dirty his hands, he does it in a way that keeps him aloof and away from it. And even as Yamamoto takes Aizen on directly,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], essentially sacrificing many of the captains and other soul reapers in order to gain an advantage,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Ichigo watches on as he seems to be frozen. Yamamoto's fight is certainly decent, though Aizen throws in a bit of a curve with his Wonderweiss creation,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but it feels like more of a distraction than anything real. At a time when Yamamoto and Aizen are dealing directly with each other,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], it doesn't fit since you have Aizen saying ending Yamamoto will end all of the things he really has issue with. And even as aloof as he is, it's something you can see him dealing with personally.
Yamamoto's fight with Wonderweiss ends up proving more of a distraction than anything meaningful, which ends up detracting from an otherwise very engaging episode. It does allow Yamamoto to beef himself up again and dole out some justice as he views it,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but in the end all it does is stretch things out a bit more and allows the focus to be taken off of Aizen. And with his hypnosis ability, that's a fatal move. The points Aizen tries to score here against Yamamoto end up feeling cheap,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], though not terribly out of line as Aizen is intent on destroying him and all he represents. There are several ways to do that and he's used a bit of straightforward attacks on him,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but he's also using the psychological side as well and that provides the right kind of chink in Yamamoto's armor of the mind that can open him up to a whole lot more trouble.
In Summary:
Aizen has long been the badass character of the series,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], one that has maintained that status for a very long time now,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and he earns it even more this time around. With Yamamoto getting directly involved,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], everything gets raised several notches and it's pretty intense and epic for at least the first half. Things go off the rails a bit more after that with a diversionary tactic that has a bigger goal in mind, so while it works,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], it feels like something Aizen wouldn't particularly do on a way. What's most problematic here is that all this carnage and devastation goes down, Ichigo is left standing there,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], frozen in place, watching it all and unable to move. Yamamoto shines here as does Aizen,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but Ichigo comes away badly,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], even if he has good reason for it.
